The show needed a reason for Hürrem and Süleyman to be apart so Firuze can get together with Süleyman. But the reason they came up with was so annoying.

Hürrem wasn't that stupid to rush into that room. It serves no purpose, she is already the strongest woman in the harem and there is no one that she needs to show off to by getting the biggest room. And Süleyman would eventually let her move into that room anyways if she only didn't rush in there. She knew Süleyman wanted that room empty, for now at least. It was so annoying to see Hürrem make such a stupid decision that was out of character IMO.

Im purely taking about show and not IRL history, I know in IRL history this brotherly love we see in the show probably didn't exist.

In the show Mustafa loves his brothers and keeps saying that he would die for them. And we all know Süleyman's preferred heir was Mehmed. If Mehmed were to survive and if Süleyman were to officially announce Mehmed as his heir (which he basically did anyways by assigning him to Manisa) would Mustafa accept that ?

Mustafa was fiercely and "lethally" loyal to his father, even when walking to his death he didn't betray his father. So would he accept his fathers wishes and accept his brother as the ruler ? Or would he revolt against that decision ? Or revolt against his brother after his father dies ?

In ep55 when Süleyman is on death bed, Mahidevran tells Hürrem that she won't let her die easily that Hürrem will witness her sons death first with a smile on her face. Hürrem might not be an angel but she was never this evil.

Edit: Wanted to clarify cause a lot of people seems to understand me wrong. Im not calling Mahidevran evil for wanting to kill Hürrem's sons, she basically has to do that because of the system they live in. I'm calling her evil cause she wants to keep Hürrem alive untill she witnesses her sons death then kill her, she tells this to hürrem with a grin on her face. THAT'S EVIL. Not because wanting to kill children cause a system forces you to, but for enjoying killing those children.

Hürrem tried to kill Mustafa too, and got successful in the end. But she never showed any sign of actually enjoying his death. When he actually died she was also sad for what she had to do, she felt guilty. When Mahidevran gets Mehmed killed, she never feels guilty.

Valide said that she took care of the people that was guilty so everyone let go of it, later on she brings Fatma back to piss Hürrem off and Hürrem doesn't tell this to Süleyman. Why ?

By telling about Fatma and how Valide brought her back as a servant to Mahidevran she is basically shooting 3 birds with 1 bullet. Süleyman would probably burn Fatma alive or something like that. And he would get pissed at Valide and Mahidevran for protecting Fatma. Which all benefits Hürrem, why on earth she stayed silent about this ?

All she did was bully Fatma a bit and burned her face that healed in like 1 episode. And then let her be, she even became one of Mustafa's woman, she could have told Süleyman then let him know how they are mocking her by harboring the woman that burned her. Nope nothing, as if that whole burning thing never happened.

Also that whole Burning incident pisses me off with how Süleyman did nothing about it. Valide said she took care of it and he was fine with that even though he knew Valide started it. He should have fired every single cariye in the harem and get new slaves.

It was such a bullshit. Mahidevran disrespects Hürrem so she gets pissed and walks on her to demand her to be respectful then Mustafa intervines. All Hürrem tells to Mustafa is for him to stay out of this. But Süleyman makes Hürrem apologize to Mustafa as if she disrespected Mustafa.

It was Mahidevran that disrespected Hürrem even though Süleyman warned her multiple times to be respectful towards his wife. He should have called Mahidevran to make her apologize from Hürrem and teach her son that her mother isn't flawless and she should be respectful to Hürrem. As he reminded to Hürrem that he is superior to her, Hürrem is superior to Mahidevran, she can't disrespect her.

But nope, Süleyman makes Hürrem apologize for nothing basically and ignores Mahidevran's disrespect.

Also Mustafa you dumbass, Hürrem got pissed at your mother cause your mother was "accusing" Hürrem of planting Efsun by your side which you defended her against your mother too, so you and Hürrem are technically on the same side on this argument, but Mustafa is an idiot as we all know so whatever.

In season 3-4 once Hürrem took over Harem they act like Sümbül has been by Hürrem's side since the beginning, and as if he was her most loyal ally since the start. Absolutely not, Sümbül has always been mainly on the side against Hürrem, he is the reason that Leo got exposed, he is also part of the plan that ended up burning Hürrem.

It was Gül aga, Gülbahar, Nilüfer and Nigar (untill she fell in love at least) that was most loyal to Hürrem and they are the reasons that Hürrem got to where she is. They put in the work but Sümbül ended up enjoying the victory with Hürrem. He doesn't deserve it and it annoys me so much when I rewatch some scenes from earlier seasons.

The only thing that I can recall that Sümbül did for Hürrem (prior to season 4) was helping her get to Sultan but even that was done with bribery.

Hürrem should have taken Gül aga back once she took harem over, he deserved to be by her side, not Sümbül.

I just met a guy, and he has been hitting all the green flags in record speed. I feel the butterflies coming, Im excited to wake up tomorrow. But it's too early. What is a good song with "Oh shit, Im falling too fast" kind of vibes. Like Im happy to be falling but also worried.

​

I know some examples but they are usually about falling in love. Im talking about just falling, liking, being into someone fast or meeting someone too good etc. Love feels like a bit overkill.

An example that's close to what Im looking for:

Like for stuff that you don't dislike nor like. Would you do those stuff cause your sexual partner likes it, or would you only want to do stuff that gives you enjoyment ?

I like playing England but I absolutely do not want to conquer France. But for the first century of the game I keep gettin decd by France, even if I give up all my land in France. France is just too slow to annex their subjects and meet the requirements.

And war is just annoying. I usually give up in first war and give them whatever land they want. But after that they refuse to take any land for quite a long while cause of antogo ism. And when I use susgest peace, nothing happens. AI France doesnt want anything from me.

And its not a real threat, if I wanted I can conquer France it's not that hard. And when I dont its an easy war to defend as well, either build couple galleys and hunt the french, or wait for them to land and slaughter them. It's such a pointless war.

I don't undsrtand why France's goal is to claim Englands throne. Afaik France's go was to kick English out of France, they didn't claim English throne.

There should be an option to give up your claim on French throne and give up the 100 years war. Or an option to negoiate a peace, like some concessions in exchange for English claim on the French throne. Or England should be the offensive one and if England doesnt declare any wars for a long while they lose their claim. Or at least make the AI France's goal to conquering French land, not declaring claim throne wars for no reason.

Paimon (self reflection)

Hatguy (more friendlier)

Collei (self acceptance, growing out of trauma)

Nicole (self realization)

Kaveh & Alhaitham (closer and warmer totally Platonic Relationship)

Dori (being kind, charitable and helpful)

Nefer (making peace with her troubles regardin sumeru)

Tighnari (more used to Cyno's joke that he can even predict them)

Traveler (speaking more, Zach is finally doing his job)

They all had some sort of character development and I loved it. Seeing the characters change in time rather than staying as the same person the whole time is really great. I loved this AQ, but I loved the Character Development parts more than the main Dottore plotline.

Specially Paimon, she has been showing character development since Natlan and it was really nice to see her do some self reflection and open up about them.

And I loved the banters between Tighnari and Cyno evolving, even Collei became part of it. They have a great dynamic.

I hope we can see more of old characters in the future patch with some Character development. And I really hope Hoyo continues on with Paimon's character development.
